The presence of pesticides refers to the detection of chemical residues from agricultural pesticides in food, water, or other products. This analysis is crucial for ensuring food safety and compliance with health regulations, as pesticide residues can pose health risks to humans and animals. Common testing methods include gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography (LC), and mass spectrometry (MS), which can accurately quantify the types and amounts of pesticides present

Cannabinoids are a group of active compounds found in the cannabis plant that interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). They play a role in regulating processes such as mood, pain sensation, appetite, and memory
Chemical residue refers to traces of chemicals that remain on or in a product, surface, or environment after being applied, used, or produced. Residues can come from various sources, including pesticides on food, cleaning agents on surfaces, pharmaceuticals in water, or industrial by-products. Here are some common types of chemical residues.
Foreign matter inspections are quality control processes used in various industries, particularly in food and pharmaceuticals, to detect and prevent contamination by foreign objects. Foreign matter can include any unwanted material—such as glass, plastic, metal, wood, hair, insects, or other substances—that does not belong in the final product and could pose health risks or affect product quality.
Water activity analysis measures the amount of free, unbound water in a product, which is crucial for understanding and controlling the growth of microorganisms, chemical reactions, and enzymatic activities that can spoil food, pharmaceuticals, and other perishable goods. Unlike moisture content, which indicates the total water in a product, water activity (aw) reflects only the water available for biological and chemical processes.
Heptane is a volatile, colorless solvent commonly used in laboratories and industrial applications. Vitamin E acetate is a synthetic form of vitamin E, used in skincare and supplements but linked to lung injury risks in vaping products.
Microbial-mycotoxin analysis tests for the presence of mycotoxins—toxins produced by certain molds—and microbial contamination in food, feed, and agricultural products. This analysis helps ensure food safety and quality, as mycotoxins can pose significant health risks to humans and animals. Techniques used include chromatography and immunoassays for accurate detection and quantification.

Rely On Our New Jersey Lab for Cannabis Testing
At our SCL Testing laboratory, we make sure compliance standards are met, and that your products are reliable. Our comprehensive testing includes:
Cannabinoid potency refers to the concentration and effectiveness of cannabinoids, such as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol), in a cannabis product. It is typically measured as a percentage of the total weight of the product. Testing for potency helps consumers understand the strength of the product, guides dosing, and ensures consistent quality. Common methods for potency analysis include high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC).
Heavy metals are dense metallic elements that can be toxic to living organisms at elevated concentrations. Common heavy metals of concern include lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and chromium. They can enter the environment through industrial processes, mining, agricultural runoff, and pollution, accumulating in soil, water, and food chains.
Microbiological contaminants are unwanted microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, that can compromise the safety and quality of food, water, pharmaceuticals, and other products. These contaminants can lead to foodborne illnesses, spoilage, and reduced product efficacy.
Residual solvents are trace amounts of volatile organic compounds that remain in products after the manufacturing process, particularly in pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics. They are typically used as solvents during production to dissolve, extract, or purify substances. Monitoring residual solvents is essential because they can pose health risks if present at high levels. Regulatory bodies set limits on acceptable levels of residual solvents, and analysis methods such as gas chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography are used to detect and quantify these solvents in finished products.
A terpene profile is a characterization of the specific terpenes present in a plant or product, detailing their types and concentrations. Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in various plants, including cannabis, and contribute to their fragrance, flavor, and potential therapeutic effects. Analyzing the terpene profile helps assess product quality, determine aroma and taste characteristics, and understand potential effects on health and wellness. This analysis is commonly performed using gas chromatography.
Vitamin E acetate is a synthetic form of vitamin E used in skincare products and dietary supplements for its antioxidant properties. It is often included for its moisturizing benefits, but has been linked to respiratory issues when inhaled, particularly in vaping products
